Abstract
The oxidation behavior at 1023 and 1123 K in air has been followed for several Ni-Cr-Al ternary alloys and with small additions of refractory elements Nb, Mo, and Ta. Prior to testing, the alloys were characterized by microscopic and microanalytic methods. Microstructural observations have shown that the formation of oxide layers depends on the original microstructure. Discontinuous thermogravimetric tests were used to relate the behavior of different chromium, aluminum, and refractory-element additions, and eventually to service conditions in similar environments in which general oxidation takes place. The addition of refractory elements generally impaired the oxidation resistance.
